“I pursued a music degree because I wanted to grow in my musical skills and learn how to be a better teacher,” Arneson said. “Evangel’s music department helped me to do this.”

After graduation, Arneson wants to pursue a master’s degree in piano pedagogy. Arneson would also like to own her own piano studio and work as a church music director.

Arneson is the daughter of Darrell and Sharon Arneson of Brooks, Ore.
